Carnival

Carnaval

Is it you, babe? Is it you?¿Sos vos, pebeta?, ¿Sos vos?
How are you?¿Cómo te va?
Are you dancing? With who?¿Estás de baile?, ¿Con quién?
With a big shotCon un bacán

So well dressedTan bien vestida
You make an impressionDas el golpe
I'm telling youTe lo digo
For realDe verdad

Have I changed that you¿Habré cambiado que vos
Don't even look at me?Ni me mirás?
And without even saying goodbyeY sin decirme ni adiós
You're about to go inYa vas a entrar

Don't rushNo te apresurés
While your big shotMientras paga el auto
Pays for the carTu bacán
I'll tell youYo te diré

Where are you going with a Manila shawl?¿Donde vas con mantón de Manila?
Where are you going with such a nice costume?¿Dónde vas con tan lindo disfraz?
Nowhere less than a fancy danceNada menos que a un baile lujoso
Where the entrance costs a fortuneDonde cuesta la entrada un platal
You've made progress, babe!¡Qué progresos has hecho, pebeta!
You traded in calico for silkTe cambiaste por seda el percal
You're disguised as rich, daddyDisfrazada de rica estás papa
The best thing I saw at CarnivalLo mejor que yo vi en Carnaval

Life goes onLa vida rueda
And you moved on tooTambién rodaste vos
I'm the sameYo soy el mismo
As I was your love yesterdayQue ayer era tu amor
Not muchMuy poca cosa
Just a good guyUn buen muchacho
Less money than dreamsMenos plata que ilusión

And here at the doorY aquí en la puerta
Tired of wanderingCansado de vagar
I watch the masked onesLas mascaritas al baile
Enter the danceMiro entrar
You enter tooVos entrás también
And the welcomeY la bienvenida
In a low voiceA media voz
I'll tell youYo te diré

Have fun, kind ColombinaDivertite, gentil Colombina
With your serious and wealthy HarlequinCon tu serio y platudo Arlequín
Buyer of affection and laughterComprador del cariño y la risa
With his never-ending bagCon su bolsa que no tiene fin

Flirt with your rich costumeCoquetea con tu traje de rica
That Pierrot couldn't offer youQue no pudo ofrecerte Pierrot
Because the disguise only lasts one nightQue el disfraz solo dura una noche
As it's burned by the Sun's raysPues lo queman los rayos del Sol
